In the evening, Shen Ruolan deliberately cut a plate of mutton, took out a plate of sauerkraut from the space, cut a plate of potato slices and a plate of sweet potato slices, soaked some fungus and mushrooms, and prepared to reward her father with a hot pot meal.
Dad was busy until midnight last night. He left for the county before dawn this morning. Now it is dark and he hasn't come back yet. One can imagine the hard work.
Although she doesn't expect him to make money to support the family, seeing him willing to work so hard proves that he has completely repented and put this family in his heart. In this case, as a daughter, it is reasonable to honor him with a delicious meal .
After Shen Dejian came back, he yelled as soon as he entered the door, "Lan Ya, Lan Ya, dad is back!"
Shen Ruolan came out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand, and seeing his father's face blushing and satisfied with a smile, and holding a bundle of pork rinds in one hand, she knew that he must have made money today.
In fact, if you think about it with your toes, you can think that he will definitely make money today. If he can't make money from such good things, then he will really become a mud that cannot support the wall.
"Father, is everything going well today?"
Even though she knew that he was going well, Shen Ruolan still asked, so that her father could have a chance to show off himself and satisfy his vanity.
"It's going well, everything is going well. Dad has earned more than two taels of silver, and bought two taels of meat to store. This is the rest of the money. I will keep it for you..."
Shen Dejian put the pork rind in the corner, impatiently took out his purse, counted down the remaining five or so silver, and taught his daughter to keep it.
Shen Ruolan put the dish of washed cabbage leaves on the table, took the scraps of silver handed over by her father, and said with a smile: "Father is really amazing, he earned so much in one day!"
When Shen Dejian heard his daughter's praise, he was so happy that he burst out laughing. Zhang Eryong and his father also came in without waiting for a few words of modesty. He also has a pork rind in his hand.
These old pork skins are almost piled up into a mountain, Shen Ruolan seriously doubts whether her father wrapped up all the pork skins in the city today!
"This is Lan Ya, what a clever girl!"
As soon as Zhang Xingwang came in, his eyes fell on Shen Ruolan's body, and after looking around, he opened his mouth first.
Shen Ruolan and Zhang Xingwang had been in the same car once, and she had an impression of him, but that time the two of them didn't speak or communicate, so she had no choice but to pretend that they knew each other for the first time.
"You are Uncle Zhang, right?"
"Yes, I am your Uncle Zhang and Er Yong's father." Zhang Xingwang replied kindly.
Seeing that Shen Lanya greeted him generously, not at all coy like a little girl from a small family, Zhang Xingwang liked this little girl even more.
Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "I often hear my father mentioning you. When my father was in trouble, it was thanks to Uncle Zhang that you and Brother Er Yong helped. Speaking of which, your father and son are still our family's saviors!"
"Oh, I dare not take it!" Zhang Xingwang waved his hand politely, "It was your father who was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe. Er Yong and I just raised our hands, so how dare we take credit for it!"
Hearing Zhang Xingwang's few words, Shen Ruolan was secretly amazed, this old Zhang was different from his old lady, he spoke with restraint, modesty and tact, and was completely on the second level with the country guys she used to see!
While the two were talking, Zhang Eryong and Shuanzi had already put the pork skin in the corner, and Shen Dejian also took the pork skin from Zhang Xingwang's hand and put it away.
Shen Ruolan said: "Uncle Zhang is too modest. You sit down first, and I'll get you some water to wash your hands. It just so happens that I made a hot pot tonight. It's a gadget I came up with myself. You can try it later."
At this time, Zhang Xingwang saw a yellow thing like a furnace on the kang table, and there was a tube in the middle, I don't know what it was for, and there were plates of vegetables, Meat and rolled noodles, but raw.
After finishing the pork rinds, Shen Dejian also saw the things on the table, and said curiously: "Lanya, what is this? Why haven't I seen you do it before?"
Shen Ruolan smiled and said, "It's a little thing I came up with. It's called hot pot. I don't know if it's delicious. It's just a matter of you guys helping to try it."
Zhang Eryong has scooped out a basin of water and told Shen Dejian, Zhang Xingwang and Shuanzi to wash their hands. He also saw this copper guy, but he was not as surprised as his father and Uncle Shen. He knew how capable Lan Ya was, so no matter what she He won't make a fuss about anything he makes, and he is amazed.
After washing their hands, several people sat around the table, looking at the copper guy curiously, poking here and there, groping there, but they didn't know what to do.
Shen Ruolan walked over with a smile, pulled away the upper section of the furnace tube, lit the charcoal hidden inside with a candle, and put the furnace tube back.
After that, add soup, mix a bowl of sesame sauce for each of them, and wait for the pot to boil, then put lamb, sauerkraut, potato slices, sweet potato slices, and various small green vegetables into it.
As she ordered it, she introduced how to eat this hot pot, "When the pot is turned over again, the meat and vegetables inside will be cooked, and you can take it out and dip it in sesame sauce. It's best to eat this in winter..."
Soon, the pot boiled, and the thin slices of meat and vegetables rolled up and down. Everyone held up their chopsticks and started eating.
As soon as they entered the mouth, they praised it unanimously: "It's so delicious! It's even better than pork knuckle!"
Seeing everyone's astonishment, Shen Ruolan looked at the dishes on the table, got up and went into the kitchen to continue cutting meat and washing vegetables.
She only prepared one serving for Shen Dejian for today's hot pot. She didn't expect that there would be three more people. That little food was not enough to eat. She had to cut some meat and wash some dishes...
As Zhang Xingwang ate, his heart was already full of violent wind and waves.
This little girl is so extraordinary that she can think of such a good thing.
Take this thing to Jizhou to open a shop, and it will not make a lot of money. What kind of spiced peanuts, what kind of crystal jelly, have to go!
It was also the first time for Shuan Zi to eat such a delicious food, his tongue almost swallowed it, and he couldn't care less about saying anything, so he just ate it with his cheeks off.
Shen Dejian is complacent while eating, his daughter is good, who can figure out such delicious food? Maybe his daughter can do it!
Zhang Eryong also loves to eat, but after a few mouthfuls, he heard the sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen, and he couldn't eat any more, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and went into the kitchen to help her.
Seeing his son being so sensible, Zhang Xingwang was very satisfied. This silly boy is usually naive, but now he has become smarter. He knows how to please girls, hehe...
He made up his mind that this Lanya and his old Zhang family are destined to marry, as long as they marry her, the old Zhang family will definitely prosper!
